The answer is drink it don’t store it, I know, but my wife and I don’t drink that much and I like to roast at least five pounds at a time, so the question is storage. I have read several articles that say freezing coffee negatively effects the flavor, but I disagree. My father was a frozen food pioneer, so I have a little knowledge which makes me dangerous. So here’s my view, if after roasting and resting for a couple of days you **vacuum seal the beans in polyethene bags ** and freeze as long as you store in a dark freezer you will preserve the full flavor of the coffee. When its time to use I store in vacuum containers again not exposed to light. I believe within reason, frozen up to 6 months, you maintain the flavor of the roast. Typically my storage bags are less than a half pound, so they last about a week. I assert that even after 6 months the coffee retains very very close to its flavor after 3 days. What is the experience of the Roast Worlders?
